Johani 11
1 Linu mukwame zumwi yabali kusumpwa chezina lya Lazaro yabali kulwala. yaba kuzwa mwa Betenia, mumunzi mwabali kwikala Maria ni mukulwe Mareta.
Now a certain man, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 nji Maria yaba singi Simwine mafuta esende ni kumupemula kumatende ninsuki zakwe, imi Lazaro yabali kulwala ibala nchizyakwe.
(It was the Mary who [later] anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped His feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Linu banchizyakwe nichibatumina iñusa kwa Jesu, nibacho, “Simwine, bone, iye yosaka ahulu ulwala.”
So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love is sick!”
4 Linu Jesu hazuwa bulyo, nati, Uku kulwala kahena kufwa, kono bwakubonisa maata a Simwine chobulyo nimwana wa Ireeza uswanela kulumbekwa kachibatendahali.”
Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Linu Jesu abali kusaka ahulu Mareta ni mwanchakwe ni Lazaro bulyo.
(Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
6 Chobulyo hazuwa kulwala kwa Lazaro, Jesu abekali mazuba amwi obele muchibaka mwabekele.
So, when He heard that he was sick He stayed where He was two more days!
7 Linu hakumana bulyo, Chowamba kuba rutwana bakwe, “Twende tuye kwa Judea hape.”
Then after this He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
8 Barutwana chibawamba kwali, “Muruti, munako inu Majuda basaka kukugobola nimabwe, linu iwe usaka kubola kwateni hape?”
The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and you are going back there?”
9 Jesu nichati, kahena kuti inhola zitenda ikumi ni obele eseli mwizuba? Linu zumwi muntu hayenda musihali, keti aholofale kapa kusitatala kakuti ubwene mwahitite cha liseli lyefasi.
Jesus answered: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks during the day he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Nihakuba bulyo, hayenda masiku, mwasitatale kakuli iseli kalina mwali.”
But if anyone walks in the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
11 Nichawamba izi zintu, linu hamana izo zintu, nichabawambila, “Mulikanetu Lazaro chalala, kono nikaya ili kuti nikamubuse.”
Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.”
12 Barutwana linu chibawamba kwali, “Simwine, haiba ulele, mwabe nenza.”
His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.”
13 Linu Jesu chabataluseza kuamana niifu, Chobulyo abo babali kuhupula kuti uwamba iñonzi zakulikatulusa.
But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.
14 Linu Jesu nichabataluseza, “Lazaru ufwile.
So then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus died.
15 Nisangite, kebaka lyenu, kuti kana nibena kwateni kokuti nimubazumini. Twende kwali.”
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Tomasi yaba kunsumpwa Didima, chawamba ku Barutwana, “Tuyende naswe tukafwe ni Jesu.”
Then Thomas (called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, “Let's us go too, so that we may die with Him.”
17 Linu Jesu hakeza, neza kuwana kuti Lazaro chowina kale mwikumbu chamazuba onee.
So when Jesus had come, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Linu Betania ibena hembali ni Jerusalema, kazibima zotatwe.
(Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 Bungi bwa Majuda babali kwiza kwa Mareta ni Maria, kubaombaomba kuamana ni nchinzabo.
and many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.)
20 Linu Mareta, hazuwa kuti Jesu ukezite, nichibaka mukatanyeza, cobulyo Maria abekele munzubo.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting at home.
21 Mareta linu chawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, kapa kobena kunu, nchizyangu nasena bafwi.
Then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died.
22 Nangati hanu, nizi kuti chimwi nichimwi chokumbila kwa Ireeza, mwakuhe.”
But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Jesu chawamba kwali, “Nchizyako mwabuke hape.”
Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Mareta chawamba kwali, “Nizi kuti mwabuke hape he henzuho luzuba lwamamani mani.”
Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesu chawamba kwali, “Njeme ni nzuho ni buhalo; yense yozumina kwangu, niha fwa, mwa hale;
Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;
and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Nichawamba kwali, “Ee, Nfumwangu, nizumina kuti njewe Kreste, mwana we Ireeza, yokezite mwi nkanda.”
She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
28 Hamana kuwamba izi, chozwa mwateni nikusumpa mwanchakwe Maria kakuli ungula. chamuwambila, “Muruti chasika mi ukusumpa.”
Having said these things she went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling you!”
29 Linu hazuwa bulyo, chonyamuka kapili nikuya kwali.
Upon hearing it she gets up quickly and goes to Him.
30 Linu Jesu kanabeni kusika mumunzi abali kusina kuchibaka kwaba kamukatanyezi Mareta.
(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
31 Imi Majuda, babena naye mwinzubo babali kumuomba omba nibabona Maria hanyamuka kapili pili kuzwila hanze, chiba mwichilila, kuhupula kuti chokaya kwikumbu aka siliseze kwateni.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”)
32 Linu Maria, hakeza kwabekele Jesu imi namubona, chowila hamatende akwe ni kumuwambila, “Simwine, kapa kobena kunu, nchinzyangu nasena abafwi,”
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died!”
33 Linu Jesu chamubona nasilisa, imi ni Mujuda wakeza naye chokwete usilisa,
So when Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 chabahinditwe muluhuho lwakwe mi abali kubilela; chawamba, “Mubamulaziki kuhi?” Niba mwitaba, “Nfumwangu, wize zo bone.”
And He said, “Where have you put him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesu nasilisa.
Jesus wept.
36 Linu Majuda cibawamba, Mubone mwaba kusakila Lazaru!”
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 Imi bamwi chibawamba, “Kanjiyena uzu mukwame, yabeyaluli menso amukwame wamuhofu, hape ibaleti kuti uzu mukwame kuti afwe?”
But some of them said, “Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this one from dying?”
38 Linu Jesu hape, nalizuwa kutomoha inkulo hape, nayenda kwikumbu. linu chibali ilindi, imi ibwe libatulitwe hateni.
Then, groaning within Himself again, Jesus arrived at the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39 Jesu nati, “Muzwise hateni ibwe.” Mareta, nchinzye wa Lazaro, iye yofwile, nawambila Jesu, “Nfumwangu, cheinu inako chitupu chichinunka, kakuti chikwahinda mazuba onee kuzwa habafwili.”
Jesus says, “Remove the stone!” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks; it's been four days!”
40 Linu Jesu nati kwali, Naa kana nibakuwambili kuti, heba uzumina, mokabone mubuso wa Ireeza?”
Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
41 Linu chibazwisa ibwe hekumbu. Jesu nakatula menso akwe kulola kwiulu imi nati, “Tate, Nilitumela kakuti wateka kwangu.
Then they took away the stone from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You heard me.
42 Nizi kuti utekanga kwangu inako yonse, kono niwamba bulyo kebaka lyekunga linizimbulukite kunibika mukati, ili kuti bazumine kuti ubanitumi.”
I know that You always hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 Chobulyo nawamba buti, nahuweleza chalizwi lizuweka ahulu, “Lazaro, wize hanze!”
Upon saying these things He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Mukwame yabafwile nazwa mwikumbu; matende akwe nimayanza abali kuzingeletwe masila. Jesu nawamba kubali, “Mumusumunune imi mumusiye ayende.”
And out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Loose him and let him go.”
45 Linu bungi bwa Majuda babakezi kwa Maria imi nibabona zabatendi Jesu, niba zumina kwali,
So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
46 kono bamwi mukati kabo chibayenda ku Bafalisi imi chibakawamba zabatendi Jesu.
But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Cwale mapurita bakulwana ni Bafalisi chibakopanya inkuta hamwina imi nibawamba, “Mutupange chihi? Uzu mukwame upanga imakazo zingi.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous signs;
48 heba mutumusiye yenke sina buti, bonse mubazumine kwali; Maroma mubatunyange minzi yetu yonse ni nkanda yetu.”
if we let him go on like this everybody will believe into him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation!”
49 Nihakuba bulyo, zumwi mukwame mukati kabo, Kayafa, yabali muprisita mukulwana mwecho chilimo, nati kubali, “Kakwina chimwizi.
But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: “You know nothing at all!
50 Kamubwene kuti kulotu nibutuka kuti mukwame yenke afwile chichaba kundeye kuti inkanda yonse imaniswe.”
Nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation perish!”
51 Lyahanu izi zawamba kazizwi kwali mwine. kono, kakuti abali muprisita mukulwana icho chilimo, aba polofiti kuti Jesu mwafwile inkanda;
(Now he did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation;
52 kono isini inkanda bulyo imi kono kuti bana ba Ireeza bahasene bekale hamwina kalusika lonke.
and not only on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)
53 Linu kuzwa ulo luzuba niba zuminzana mwete behaile Jesu.
So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.
54 Kelyo ibaka Jesu nasiya kuyenda mukati ka Majuda nibamubwene, imi chozwa mweyo inkanda nikuya mwihalaupa mumuleneñi wa Efraimi. Uko abakekali ni barutwana.
Therefore Jesus no longer moved about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and He stayed there with His disciples.
55 Lyahanu i Paseka ya Majuda chibena hafuhi, imi bungi bwabo nibaya mwa Jerusalema kuzwa mwinkanda i Paseka niseni kusika kuti bakalijoloze abo bene.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 Babali kukabulola Jesu, imi nibena mwi Tempele nibakwete balibuza buza, “Muhupula bule? Na sanzi akezi kumukiti?”
So they were looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they were saying to each other, “What do you think—that he won't come to the feast at all?”
57 Linu muprisita mukulwana ni Bafalisi niba hewa mulao kuti haiba kwina yowizi kwena Jesu, uswanela kuwamba ili kuti bamukwate.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had together issued an edict that if anyone knew where He was he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
